In a statement provided by SiriusXM, the company writes: “SiriusXM confirms it has terminated its relationship with Gregg ‘Opie’ Hughes, host of the ‘Opie Radio Show’ weekday afternoons on the Faction Talk channel. SiriusXM does not publicly discuss internal personnel issues.”

The duo had a history of controversial on-air appearances, including a segment called “Sex for Sam,” which encouraged sexual acts in public places and got the pair booted from New York FM station WNEW back in 2003.
